to Amethyst. I agree, not all raccoons are mean as long as you raise them by hand when they are tiny babies. I had one that I raised from the times its eyes were still closed until I had to get rid of it because of city laws. She was a gentle as any cat that I have ever owned.

Yes, picture is very funny……but it is real?…..Are raccoons able to stand on their hind legs?….they are clever mammals..they’re claws are better than human hands…anyway. would make a good Christmas card…Paste a Santa hat on the raccoon…Merry Christmas…I found your Cat. LOL

Raccoons, albeit cute, are wild animals an under no circumstances should they be kept as pets. In most states, it is against the law. Do not be tempted to take keep one as a pet. If you find what you suspect to be an orphaned wild animal of any kind, check with your local animal control or humane society for the nearest wildlife rehabilitator.
